Who is this "Parise" dude?

If you want to picture Zach Parise's game, think of a mix between Scott Gomez and Mike York. He has Gomez's vision and skating, but York's effort and work ethic. Many Devils fans from NJdevs.com (myself included) expect something around 20-25 goals and 40-50 assists from Zach when he fully develops.

Now you are just overdoing it. A player like that would mean something like Sakic.

So you think with more speed and more hockey sense York wouldn't get more then 25 goals?

I think you missed the point, but if you put York and Gomez together, I'm still not sure that player is on the same level as Sakic. Also Gomez doesn't have that blazing speed that some other players have (Kovalchuk, St. Louis, Hossa, Gagne) in my eyes, not that he is slow by any means.

You have about an inch of gloss over your eyes then. Gomez IMO is 3rd fastest player on the devils behind Niedermayer and Friesen. He would be fastest on many teams. If Gomez had Yorks scoring and Yorks defensive skills he would be a player as effective as Sakic.

Can you honestly tell me that Gomez is faster than the three I mentioned earlier? I also believe Gomez is the 4th fastest behind Niedermayer, Friesen and Elias. He has great acceleration, and can cut through the neutral zone like butter, however I don't think his top is as fast as the elite skaters in the league. His ability to change direction quickly and maintain his speed disguises that.

Nah man, 110 pts would be his off year in just 30 games. He's going to be a 300pt man every year if he is healthy.

He'll win the Selke, Hart, Vezina, Richard, Pearson, Lady Byng also. He'll also have a +/- of 350+ each year. He'll surpass Gretzky in 10 seasons and will rewrite the history books in every category except fighting.

This thread's not helping... to say he has the potential to be a really good player is one thing... to say he'll finish with a point a game is another. There are elite hockey players in today's NHL that didn't hit 82 points last year.
